Instructions

1. Make a list. There are several p.aces that sell the Moon Sand products, but the trick is finding one that offers the best price and is the most convenient for you. If you prefer not to buy things on the Internet, you might consider researching local stores this way, to save some time. Moon Sand Castles are usually sold at toy stores, chain stores and even craft stores. Think about which place you prefer to shop and what is closer to your home. Make a list of places that you could go and their phone numbers. You can find store information on the store's web page, or you can look them up in the phone book. If that fails, you can dial 411 and ask information for the phone numbers you need. If you don't mind shopping on the Internet, skip to step 5.

2. Now that you've got a list, call the stores and be sure to ask them specifically for the Moon Sand Castle. You many have to be transferred to the right department, such as toys or crafts. Remind them to check their stock, or you might get frustrated with wasting a trip. Once you find the right store, ask them to hold the Moon Sand Castle for you. Be sure to ask them their name and where the Moon Sand Castle will be.

3. It's time to find a deal. Look through your Sunday paper to see which stores on your list are offering coupons or sales. It may determine which place you shop for the Moon Sand Castle, even if it is a little less convenient. Most larger chain craft stores offer coupons for a percentage off any regular price item. You'll want to clip these.

4. Now you can buy your Moon Sand Castle.

5. If you are comfortable with the internet, you can do an easy search for a Moon Sand Castle on certain websites (see Resources). Be sure to shop your local chain stores' websites as well.
